description	Start development with pre-flight checks and dev server

Dev Skill

Starts the development environment with pre-flight checks to catch issues early.

Steps

1. Check TypeScript compiles:

pnpm exec tsc --noEmit

If errors, report them but continue (dev server will also show them).

2. Ensure dependencies are installed:

pnpm install

3. Start the Tauri development server: // turbo

pnpm tauri dev

The dev server will run in the background with hot reload enabled.

What You Get

• Frontend: React dev server with hot module replacement (Vite)
• Backend: Rust/Tauri with auto-rebuild on changes
• DevTools: Available via Cmd+Option+I in the app window

Common Issues

TypeScript Errors

If tsc --noEmit shows errors, review and fix them before continuing. The dev server will still run, but the app may not work correctly.

Missing Dependencies

If you see import errors, run pnpm install manually.

Rust Build Failures

Check the terminal output for Rust compilation errors. May need to run cd src-tauri && cargo build to see full errors.

Example Output

✓ TypeScript compiles cleanly
✓ Dependencies installed
